Hi,
have a 3 year old Female yemen chameleon, we have only had her 6 months but we have known her all her life as she was passed on to us by a friend.
her normal diet is around 5 locusts per day and wax worms/ crickets once a week she has her calcium dust, and all our insects are gut loaded before feeding with gut loading powder I bought from my local reptile shop.
she has a waterfall which is on during the day and we mist the cage twice a day to create humidity.
Before we got her, she had a calcium deficiency when she was young due to incompetent pet shop who told my friend the wrong information whilst she bought my chameleon, her legs became jellified and she went through operations to have them fixed (they are now fine but slightly disfigured)
recently she cut her tail and she lost the tip due to an infection (treated by the vet)
That's basically all about Pascale my chameleon, if you need information on her cage I will happily give it.
Recently she has been sitting at the bottom of her tank, she's not climbing or eating much at all, she normally has a huge appetite when we feed her locusts (we have tried other food and she refuses this as well) she's eating around 5 a week, she's eating worms though.
Her colours are fine (sharp and vivid), she isn't dull at all. When we open her cage she seems to quickly climb up so we get her out and then she's extremely active when she is out (she seems fine when out of her environment). Her temperature is fine and she has plenty of artificial plants and climbing vines logs etc. she's on a pete surface.
She honestly doesn't look well whilst she's inside her cage and i'm unsure what to do it seems silly taking her to the vet when shes only sat on the bottom of her cage, but I know Pascale and this isn't her normal self.
Many thanks in advance.
